MmmmMarch Madness

Now THIS is my kind of bracket battle! I love Garden and Gun magazine. Love, love, love it. I have since they published their very first issue and I will die a little inside the day they decide to close-up shop (*knock on wood* this won't be for a very long time to come!). Since I live in Knoxville and I am an alumnus of the University of Tennessee, men's basketball is a sore subject 'round here these days. Thus, I have really enjoyed following this Southern food bracket. I have eagerly watched these match-ups and have been right on almost all counts (although I was sorely disappointed to see Chicken Pot Pie beat out Chicken Fried Steak in the first round). Fried Chicken and Southern Ham Biscuits was probably a close one, but I new that FC would ultimately prevail. FC and Pulled Pork BBQ will be a big one and I don't know what I'll do if Pecan Pie beats out Shrimp and Grits. I'm thinking it will be a FC/PP final match-up, though, and I say "Go Pie Go!" Yep.....I'm pullin' for the pie.

And, I guess if I do have to pick a real team to win the NCAA championship, I'll admit I'm rooting for VCU. My little sister did graduate from there, afterall!

About Me

I am an amateur eventer, a teacher of college-level rhetoric/writing and research writing, a technical writer and print editor, and a hopeless addict to rescuing any living creature that may inadvertently wander too close to my farm (dogs, cats, birds, horses, bunnies, squirrels, and a pot-bellied pig). I am also insanely preoccupied with reading, crossword puzzles, watching Family Guy, and listening to the likes of Coldplay, Snow Patrol, Lady Gaga (guilty!), Manic Street Preachers, Keane, Muse, and occasionally some oldies-but-goodies like ELO, Supertramp, The Smiths, and Big Audio Dynamite. And, sometimes the Spice Girls, as well (guilty, again!).
